The St. John y carries 30 poands and is licensed for BB, but valves are “weighted 25 pounds. None nrers preseat could give any ideaof the © of the explosion, and all regard the whole thing ® profound mystery which can only be solved by the most thorough investigation.

Mr. Searles, the begrage master, is fearfully iniured: he scarcely can live, Mr. J.P. Conuingbam and bis wife and two very in- teresting little daughters, formed asad croup.
